My first Micro was a Radio Shack Model II (I did main frames for 12 years
prior to that), moving to a Model 16 in 1982 running Xenix. The only
Windows box here is my wife's, and it doesn't cause me much grief since she
hates to listen to me piss and moan every time I have to touch it.

I've always used the flash readers for my Olympus 2020zoom. I have a
PCMCIA adapter for the laptop, and USB readers which work with our Apple
OS X systems, Linux, and FreeBSD.
